Definitions

  • the present invention relates to improvements brought to known drying methods and apparatuses allowing to significantly reduce the overall drying time of a mass of fibrous material and significantly decrease the cost of the drying facility.
  • Fluid temperature (water vapor and / or air) flowing in the main circuit 4 is controlled by means two thermal probes 28,29 mounted respectively at the entry and exit of enclosure 1, to detect steam inlet T1 and outlet temperature T2 passing to through enclosure 1.
  • the various solenoid valves 5,6,7,11,19,23,25,26, the heating circuit 12 of the steam generator 8, the circuit heater 22 of superheater 21 and the heater 27 of dehydrator 24 are connected to a heating circuit general automatic control 31 which regulates the operation of the installation.
  • This device 31 is also connected to the centrifugal fan 3 to control start-up and this fan stops.
  • the device 31 also receives information from level sensor 16 of the condenser 13 and thermal probes 28 and 29.
